Satellite Reign is a real-time, class-based strategy game set in an open-world cyberpunk city ruled by mega-corporations. You command four agents and work your way up the corporate ladder through missions involving stealth, combat, theft, and sabotage. Rather than selecting separate levels, you explore one continuous city, uncovering missions and choosing which objectives to pursue.
The agents can be shaped around a preferred approach through choices of skills, weapons, gear, and augmentations, while each retains a distinct specialisation. Objectives support multiple methods: a team might use ventilation shafts, hack doors, disable power, manipulate guards, or force its way through the entrance. The game emphasizes combining those options, so planning a covert team or a more combat-focused squad changes how you tackle the same open-ended setting.
Satellite Reign supports solo play and cooperative play. In co-op, up to four players can each control an agent, with customisable assignments and drop-in/drop-out support; the store description specifies that this feature works over LAN, including LAN connections routed through a VPN for friends playing online.
